I found this link .
What is it all about ? You send of £1000/£25000 to some bloke who "invests" the money for you in sporting memorabilia . All seems very dodgy to me. ""We have over 25 years experience in this specialist field.""
Well if that's so ,then some forum members must know who they are.

""we pride ourselves on being able to source and obtain items at the lowest prices possible."" Very interesting.

Personally i would say it is a falling market. Anyone heard of a company like this before ?

I'll go mad and send them a quarter of a million quid and see what I get back! Laughing

but it's all very odd. They buy items for you , you then store or "enjoy" them.
""After the investment period is over we then source the best way to sell your investment"" Auction Maybe ????

""We also offer a 3 way risk status on each package, low medium and high."" We talking football memorabilia here. All forum members and collecting people will know this is bullshit.

I can't find this company on the list at Company House, and there is no address , only a mobile number. 25 years of experience and all they have is a mobile phone number and some copied photos. I would say be very careful before you send off your £1000sss Laughing

Contact is only via a mobile or enquiry form!

Any website which does not give you names and address of the "owners" is to be avoided.

Go on Wullie send them a message asking for their names and addresses.

A rat, yes, a bloody big one.

Well this is interesting for a Friday morning. On the "Contacts" page of the website Wullie has linked, there's this address: [email protected]

When I placed that address into Google search, I came up with this https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwitkPKJ8I7QAhVDIcAKHfVLDI8QFggiMAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedailywhois.com%2F2016-10-14%2Fsportingmemorabiliainvestment.com&usg=AFQjCNEmoM1pRxxInyfo6zgNlZpFYExtdA&sig2=BrLFMHnBLjWAnVQmeSLCkw

When I clicked onto that, I came up with a familiar surname Shocked

It maybe all info you guys already know so apologies if I'm light years behind

Well who would ever have guessed that ?

Well obviously the company have some stock to get rid off . People can send off money for these items. Sit and enjoy them for a few years send them back and enjoy o healthy profit.

Good work Rocky. I thought the appalling English and absence of punctuation looked familiar.

Incidentally, Martino, I don't put my home address details on my website.

With respect Pete , you don't ask people to invest up to £25,000

any sane person wanting to invest money in a internet venture will do a google search on the company. Repeat the name of this company so it shows up what sort of bloke they are dealing with.

So lets get this straight. A bloke goes bankrupt with no assets Six months later his wife starts up in the same sort of business . I leave you to draw your own conclusions. sportingmemorabiliainvestment.com

My personal opinion as someone who has lost £4,000 to this couple is not to get involved with this company.

So you send thousands of pounds cash to Andy Lane and you don't get anything for your money? Makes a change from sending him thousands of pounds worth of programmes and getting nothing back!! Shocked
